Wife Considered Mandul
1. Subtle Innuendo


There is one thing that Sarah has wanted for a long time, namely to marry the man she loves and have cute children. God did not grant both wishes. After five years of marriage, Sarah remained childless. He tried many ways to get a child. Starting from doing alternative medicine or in medicine. But he still did not get the results. Day after day, her domestic life began to feel bland when entering the fifth age of marriage. When Samuel, her husband got the fact that his colleagues in the office had chosen a cute child. They even have a son and daughter. This made Samuel feel less. Because friends, acquaintances, even relatives far away began to ask similar questions.


"How many children have you had?"


Just like today, the question was raised by Vicky when Samuel was having dinner with his colleagues at the restaurant. Almost all of his co-workers took their wives. Some even invite their children to participate. Because this monthly activity does discuss meetings in the office but is done casually.


Samuel decided to invite Sarah to join him. There Sarah who looks a little quiet looks difficult to get along with the wife of the wife of his coworkers. Sarah, who was born from a middle-class family background, could not mingle with the wives of her co-workers, the majority of whom talked about branded goods such as bags and shoes.


To be honest Sarah did not like that kind of chat, until finally she covered and decided to sit next to her husband. His intention was only one, which was to avoid chatter based on the intention of showing off treasures and spreading arrogance like women do.


Getting such a question from Vicky, Samuel just smiled faintly he looked at Sarah who was not giving any expression. He was uncomfortable half-dead.


"Sarah and I have no children!"


Vicky looks sorry for the question he threw at his old friend and boss. He scratched his nape, but his wife, Marina, who heard the chat began to join the three of them and forget the chat with other socialite gangs who were talking about the latest branded bag. "Have no children yet?"


Sarah who had just looked down, now began to lift her chin. He looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and smiled. "Just pray, yes" he said.


Marina who from the beginning felt dislike for Sarah could only raise her eyebrows. He tried to start a new conversation that could definitely corner the woman. In fact, Marina's dislike begins when she sees Sarah's seemingly perfect life. Being a famous surgeon, also the wife of a wealthy man, and having an image as a classy woman without having to show what she has made her envious. Sarah was born of a golden shell. He did not have to bother looking for proof like Marina did.


As a result, he wanted to find a gap to make Sarah's life a little shaky. "How long have you been married." he said.


Samuel smiled wryly. "It's been five years..."


"Oh, it's been a long time... My sister-in-law, who was married just a year, already has two children. Twins again!" the story is peppered with a mocking tone for Sarah.


Sarah smiled, she decided not to return the sentence. He tried to ignore Marina's words that seemed to corner him. But unlike her husband, Samuel seemed to be provoked by such a sentence. He began to show Sarah a wry face by glaring at her eyes.


"Oh yeah by the way, why can't you still have kids? You both intend to delay yes... Don't be distracted about the kids. Didn't he? Or can't have children?"


Marina finds Vicky starting to stare at her with a warning look. But he would not waste this precious opportunity. When else can corner this great pretentious woman in front of him?


Sarah shook. "We never delay the descent. It's just that it seems like God is still preparing the most beautiful gift for us at the right time!" her reply tried not to be provoked at the situation Marina created.


Sarah, knowing that Marina had intended to corner her, turned to Samuel. She saw her husband's face was red. He even looked uncomfortable for such a chat. Sarah decided to grab Samuel's hand under the table but as usual, when the child talk happened, Samuel would be cold to her. The man shook Sarah's hand as if refusing to be touched. And as usual Sarah could only breathe out tiredly. Conversations about children always managed to make her husband angry for some reason.


"Well congratulations. We wish you a positive outcome..."


"Ah, thank you. By the way, have you both checked with a doctor? Wasn't Saras a doctor, too? Must have an acquaintance with the obstetrician, right? Who knows if any of you have a problem..."


Marina did not continue her words as Vicky rebuked her by hitting her thigh. Vicky felt that what his wife said was too late.


But instead of silence, Marina even become so. She looked at her husband. "Why the hell, honey? Didn't I tell you the truth? The examination is necessary so that we can know who can and cannot produce offspring. Usually not only from the wife's side but from the husband's side can also—"


"Marina! Quiet down!" vicky Perspiration. This time blatantly yelled at his wife.


Hearing that sentence Samuel grew increasingly embarrassed he did not know how to calm his heart that began to burn with anger.


Vicky again warned his wife by glaring at him and signaled that his wife would stop saying too much about her boss. Because if Samuel gets angry, he can fire him without caring that they've been friends for a long time.


Having found her husband's warning loud enough, Marina began to shut up. He did not continue his sentence anymore and he began to join other women to talk about branded goods.


"I'm sorry, Sam. My wife was a little outrageous but she didn't mean it that way..."


Samuel smiled but in his heart he was really offended at the sentence that Vicky's wife said to him. Samuel did not want to argue with his old friend. He prefers to smile. "It's okay!" the answer.


But the expression Samuel showed was completely different from what he said. He looked at Sarah and stood up a few seconds later. "But sorry. I feel a little unwell... So we have to go home" he told Vicky.


Sarah, who found it, stood up. "You feel bad? Are you all right?" she asked Sarah to try to make sure that her husband was okay but instead acted cold to her by telling her to shut up.


Vicky who found the tension between the two people in front of him could only scratch his neck. He had no choice but to let his friend and wife go home. "Oh then rest! We will discuss the agenda next month well. Don't you worry!"


Finding such an answer, Samuel immediately packed his jacket and car keys. He then took Sarah by the hand and left the restaurant after saying goodbye to all his colleagues. The couple came out and did not melt his head again.


They both realized that now he was becoming a laughing stock and gossip of everyone who was there.
